One of our favourite discoveries last year was post-punk trio, Thus Love. Three friends from Vermont serving up post-punk and who all happen to be three self-identifying trans artists. Echo Mars is giving us soaring vocals, we are living for Nathaniel Van Osdol’s bass and Lu Racine come through with the drums. The whole album feels so cohesive with a nod of nostalgia towards the music but fresh lyrics from the band’s experiences.
This week they dropped new single, ‘Put On Dog’ of which they say, ‘In 2023 self expression is still a challenge. In the 1920s, ‘Put on the Dog’ was a term coined to express putting on your finery and dressing to the nines. From the old twenties to new twenties, we’re bringing it back, but for the gays this time’.
